RoF - IRON CROSS Latest News

FIREWALL · 07-04-10, 06:35 PM

Finally arrived.

Makes original RoF look like a pos in comparision.

By ordering early I got 2 more planes which means ALL the planes so far and a hell of alot more.

SH3\GWX, RACE ON and this are my favorites to play so far.

In your opinion, what are the must have aircraft for this game?

Hi

I don't know about must have but, I like DR1 and Sopwith Camel.

I should warn everyone that it plays on 32bit OS

I have dual boot Win7 64bit\XPSp2 32bit.

Really? Runs fine on my Win7 64-bit OS - no dual boot - just installed it and I was away...

You had to do some tweaking.

That is posted on their Home website.

Yes it will play on 64 bit. But not just install and play.

Well, excuse me, but I did no tweaking at all - worked fine for me. Unless you call not installing it in the programs folder a tweak - but I think that is pretty much universal for installing any game on Win7. It is true that some users have had problems, especially stuttering, but that is by no means universal - I was one of the lucky ones and had no problems at all - made no tweaks whatever. I run it with all graphics maxed out without any problems.

It is NOT posted on the website that tweaks are necessary to run RoF on 64-bit - there are posts giving advice to users re the stuttering problem, but, as I say, this is not necessarily required. Depends on the individual system, I suppose. I do have loads of RAM, quad core, and a good video card, which probably helps. I believe most difficulties arise if you are running a dual core.

It is posted if you read all of it.

Also, ROF works with Windows 7 as thousands of flyers use Win 7 with ROF everyday.

As mentioned by the team, there are some issues with Win 7 that prevents ROF from running as perfectly as some would like,

but it is a Windows issue that affects more games than just ROF. The team will continue to try and make ROF run as good as possible on all Windows machines

The graphics are that much better? I take it the money I spend for the full hanger is not transferable to ICE then.

ROF:ICE is the culmination of twelve months of hard work by the team and the package is a much stronger offering then our original disk version with all patches and updates included as part of the install. That includes new Multiplayer modes, Terrain Maps, scripted Campaigns and Quick Mission Builder and other cool features and enhancements. We’ve also included four of our best selling add-on planes which doubles the amount of flyable planes included. That brings the total to eight flyable planes out of the box (nine if you include the bonus plane). Not to mention, the overall plane count has grown tremendously since our original launch which adds much more variety to your missions. The disk also includes the first three official Skin Packs which contains hundreds of new skins for you to use. In addition, the package includes some original artwork in the form of an interesting Awards Poster and an updated Theatre Map Poster. It is also important to note that ROF:ICE is fully compatible with the original ROF so current users have nothing to worry about. If you have friends who have not yet picked up ROF, now may be a great time to welcome them to the ROF community. The virtual sky of WWI eagerly awaits their arrival!

ROF and ROF:ICE are the same game. The only differences are that ICE has all the patches, skin packs, and a few more planes to start with.

TNX. I seem to have trouble interpreting what they offer for lack of plain answers like yours.

Can you update the original RoF to ICE?
